Is Kandee Ketchup Gone?

Hurricane-Dean

I was in Superquinn today, the only place left that sold Kandee Ketchup. But
I was shocked when I went to the shelf and the place where it normally is and noticed it was gone!! Even the label was taken down and it was replaced with some organic sauce??

Basically doe anyone know if Kandee is out of business or does anyone know any other place I can buy it??

I've just noticed this myself.

The bottles are so big we haven't needed any in a while, but I've noticed it's no longer stocked anywhere I do my shopping. I cant go back to any other sauce, they all taste like crap compared to Kandee.

What's going on? I'm scared and my chips are without sweet tomato ketchup.

I've seen it in Tesco Galway. I've also seen it in a Mace and a Supervalu. I've seen it loads of places. My brothers still use it at home

actually I think kandee might have more tomatoes in it than chef or heinz. A few own brand ones have more tomatoes too. Kandee is very vinegary and that is what many people like, you can just add more vinegar to other ketchups, they go more runny which I like on chips.

They are 1kg bottles, usually a good bit cheaper per kilo.

Oh I hate it. I grew up in a big family, and there was always about three different bottles of ketchup on the go- the little ones liked Kandee, I ate Chef sauce and two of my siblings loved Daddie's Sauce.

I can confirm i saw a 1kg bottle of Kandee in supervalu earlier for 1.75

Kerikosan

It is very vinegary but some ppl love that

I'll have kandee or chef or Heinz any day im not fussy

Little Alex

Kandee is the Harp Lager of ketchups.

And there are stacks of it still to be had...



Wholesale price €9.45 + VAT. :pac:

FTGFOP

Remember being a child and being disgusted by Heinz' lack of homogeneity, reaching for Kandee in preference. I struggle to remember what their brown sauce was like.

Iv been looking for it everywhere is it still in dunnes?or anywhere

Thanks for shoving your opinion down our throats. That sounds just like chef btw, except you might need a few litres of malt vinegar too. :rolleyes:

Any supervalue

is Kandee gone from Dunnes now ?
Went to Dunnes in Clondalkin and I didn't even see an empty space suggesting they'll refill it.
I wonder if anyone seen it in other Dunnes Stores branches ?

coffee to go

Eurospars seem to stock it in their 'Bargain Zone' bit of the store next to their own-brand stuff etc.

Swiper the fox

Haven't had Kandee in years but as I remember it was the absolute business on frozen chips, never worked as well with home cooked for some reason, when I was a lad my ma would only very rarely cave into my requests to buy it, so vinegary mmm, reminds me of chipper vans at big matches,

Don't think I'd want my own kids getting a taste for it though, I guess my mam loves me after all???

this is feckin muck - so vinegary , been having bad guts since having it - im not good with onions at the best of times so been having it - and then I looked on back of bottle at ingredients and it said it had onion granuals - who bleeding puts onions in tomato ketchup?

woodchuck

It's awful stuff. Just vinegary gloop! I haven't had it in years, but the memory is as disgusting as ever.

Heinz ftw.

RasTa

Childhood memories coming back of squirting this stuff over disgusting chips in plastic containers from food vans at markets.

more like who puts ketchup on spag bol!

Onions are in many ketchups, I am always looking at ingredients lists and love my ketchups. Does no appear on heinz ireland label but does in the US, could be in amongst vague "spices" here.
